Native Instruments has released Komplete 8 and Komplete 8 Ultimate, two new software bundles that offer comprehensive assortments of professional instruments and effects for studio production and live performance.

While Komplete 8 has been further expanded to include 27 individual products at an unchanged price, the new Komplete 8 Ultimate for the first time combines the full arsenal of Native Instruments' Komplete Instruments and Effects range at the same substantial discount, with 50 individual products conveniently provided on a dedicated external hard drive.

Both new Komplete versions are optimized for Native Instruments' groove production system Maschine, offering direct browser integration with attribute-based preset search as well as convenient automatic parameter mapping for the rotary knobs on the hardware controller.

Komplete 8 is available from authorized dealers and in the NI Online Shop for a suggested retail price of $559 / 499 EUR, with an update for owners of previous Komplete versions available for $229 / 199 EUR.

Komplete 8 Ultimate is available for $1099 / 999 EUR, with an upgrade for owners of any version of the regular Komplete bundle available for $559 / 499 EUR.
